categories: A couple of Y2K glitches

[Vaughan Pratt <pratt@cs.stanford.edu>]

For a short while in the wee small hours of this morning, the US Naval
Observatory was reporting the year as 19100.  This is exactly 19 millennia
after Peter Johnstone's distinctly post-Boadicean message on continued
fractions, whose dateline reads

	Date: Sat, 1 Jan 100 11:37:15 +0000 (GMT)

Granted the point of Y2K compliance was to avoid rolling back to the
year 1900 by carrying a 1 into the hundreds position, but in hindsight
that can be taken in various ways.
